Broken coil pack plug

Two coil packs on the O/s head (bank 1?) foul the new clutch master cylinder (Americans don't have this problem due to being LHD)
Luke told be he tie wrapped his up out the way.
I had a little spare time so I went and modified the whole bracket to move the two packs up around 16mm thus keeping them secure on their two bolts each and no use of tie wraps.


Almost looks standard!

Tonight's activities:


Tigged on extension socket after boring out the threads

Cleaned up


Milled an off centre 20mm hole ready for the inlet to be welded on.

Have some SS plate kicking around that needs a 20mm hole in the centre and then turned down to make the bottom of the Supercharger coolant tank.

Gives me a real buzz making things from scratch.
